By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

A Fall defection system does NOT stop falls. A couple Blink cameras are less expensive and you can see if they are safe. If not, you call and if no answer you know there is a problem and go over or call local police for a welfare check.
We also got Mother the Amazon Echo shoe on sale for $65 and put font big. You can add upcoming appointments, positive affirmations. Photos, to do lists, birthdays and relaxation routines, Medici e reminders remote from your smart phone for free. These all are audible or read o ly on the Echo show. You can also “Drip in” to these devices if you don’t see your relative and talk to them via these Amazon Blink cameras or Amazon Echo Show.
It also has large font, local radio, music, books on tape and much more again all you can put on from your phone if you set it up in your Amazon account.
It is modern lined and less expensive monitoring for falls and overall being safe with a backup to phone.
Good luck to you and your family.
Eh, it was just okay. It did have fall detection on it. Honestly, for us, I found calling 911 faster and easier.
We installed a lock box so the firemen could easily enter. I ordered one from Amazon. All you do is set up a passcode. Easy enough.
we did get Bay alarm and they were great. We received a wristband for her, and a necklace for him. She wouldn’t wear hers after a while but he kept his necklace on, a push button, and it worked great.
quite often he was in the living room and the alarm system was two stairs downstairs then a couple of turns into the bedroom on the far wall. We ( the company & me) could hear each other just fine.
we use them in a couple of false alarms and two times in a real emergency no problems at all.
month-to-month contract no problems. Reasonably priced. Also a Write off as medical expense. And when they called emergency services they would make notifications out to other family members; whoever we chose on the set up.
Good luck!
You could try a monitor ( like a baby monitor) your dad could hear if your uncle needed help. Good luck
Your uncle is not safe living unsupervised any more and requires either 24-hour caregivers at home or be to placed into a facility where best communication can be decided.
It might appeal to him because so many people wear them and love them.
My LO had a very good set up with a necklace fob, but she refused to push the button so it NEVER helped her.
I found when I moved her to the ALF that she did not understand their Buttons, their use and their function.
It did work great while she had the cognitive ability to understand the function. When she pushed the button, it would ring me and she could talk into the device, just like it was a phone on her end, to tell me what was wrong. It connected to my land line. I bought it on Amazon.
You could set the device to ring multiple people if the first person programmed does not pick up.
cwillie’s comments are very good. You do not explain the cognitive function of your dad and his ability to monitor your uncle.
Best of luck.
